Thank you @Dabbe for creating this play~tag~share card.

1 - Dracula

2 - Dark Shadows' vampire, Barnabas Collins (from the original 1960s/70s TV show and the 1991 TV remake).

🤔 maybe I do have a thing for bats ☺️...

3 - Regina Mills (played by Lana Parrilla) from ABC TV show, Once Upon A Time.

Thank you @TheSpineView for creating this play~tag~share card.

1- would it be strange to say, every meal? With all our allergies, we have to make everything...while it can become annoying sometimes (time consuming), it is a true artform.

2- Jughead Jones from Archie Comics! Always hungry with a fierce appetite that never fails to make me crave a sandwich! 🥪😉🤭. & Scooby Doo too!

Definitely ❕ I have always been enticed by what a story promises to be about 💕📚, not the age range a story was written for...🌞😊.

Of course, I was a faster reader when I was younger. Could finish a book in eight to sixteen days (two to six days for a really good book). Still slow, yet now I'm just plain sluggish LOL 😉.

Saw this post. Only a couple of days remaining, yet still wanted to share.

My mom went to Fairytale Town (Sacramento, CA) when she was a kid, and took my brother and I there when we were children. Wonderful place💕🥰.

Fairytale Town is a theme park.

The event posted above is for the Scholastic Book Fair.

Even while my family has moved away from Sacramento, CA, my mom follows Fairytale Town's news feed.

1- Catwoman (is she a heroine??)

2-Danica Shardae from Hawksong (Book number one in the Kiesha'ra Series) by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes. Been years since I've read...loved, love the whole series.

3-Any “one“ of the leading girls from the Old Kingdom Series by Garth Nix. (Excluding the newest book... haven't read that yet. Can't believe there is a new book release for that series and I have yet to make the time to go to a bookstore!! Shame on me).

Somehow we nearly always miss the releases of Indigenous U.S. Postal Stamps. Today, my mom was thrilled when they had these in stock! How epic 😊.

Oh, a note of caution. While at the post office, an older gentleman informed my mom that thieves seem to be applying sticky residue on outdoor mailboxes. He claimed to have had some mail stolen because of this.

I've noticed many who mail a lot here on Litsy. Just wanted to let you all know.

1- I was raised with the saying, never say never. Yet for this I can safely say...NEVER. Never ever have I or would I date online...or even friendly flirting. (Why?)

2-In aplenty of HORROR stories 🥺!!!! (My explanation...LOL 😄)

1-Not a familiar? A Wolverine.

2-Ghosts, Graphic Novel by Raina Telgemeier. While not Halloween themed, it's an interesting read on All Hollows Eve for Day of the Dead.

3-A mysterious witch. Don't always. I like getting creative.

4-LOVE themed socks. Difficult to find in natural fabrics.

5-with Halloween as part of the storyline? Love Hocus Pocus...yet Lady in White 1988 competes as a favorite.

6-as a child, my brother and I loved Candy Corn.

I always loved the history of the Hiawatha Belt. The Mohawk were one of the tribes involved.

Picking favorites is always difficult for me, I change my mind everY three seconds LOL ☺️.

1-2-3 the first three that come to me are:

CBS Ghost

Arsenic and Old Lace 1944

Mrs. Doubtfire 1993

1-It would definitely be my big brother, Uly Joey. Actually, can I upgrade this to a banquet? I have many on the other side who I'd like to catch up with.

2-I've made mistakes, I'd like the chance to change the worst of them. Maybe go back to when I was nine years old and rewrite it all...

3-Can anyone guess 🦇? ☺️😉...However, my favorite collection are typewriters. I only have a handful. One belonged to my maternal Aunt Linda (late aunt).

Since my last read was, Batman...🦇😊EPIC!!!!

Since my current read is based on reality, and my last read was based in Gotham City (which has seemingly seeped into reality 🥴)...I guess no travel is necessary LOL.

I'm always saying I've signed up for the wrong reality...where are the Pegasus, etc. etc. etc?

We've considered such things. The way we address this is to buy the closest to genuinely natural as possible, and be grateful that those options are available.

Not easy, true. It's a journey. We began years ago & continue to learn & apply.

My mom has become better at this, the minute I see one of my obsessions I am again lost to non-eco bric-a-brac.

Batman, Encanto, anything Christmassy, fantasy or ghostly, garden deco. Etc. Etc. I'm horrible!

#1- While my favorite character on Grimm (TV show 2011-2017) is Monroe, Nick and Juliette were my favorite pairing. Can't believe they split them up like that, they could have been such a power couple...(can't believe I missed my chance for the DVD collection).

#2 - Batman and Catwoman. I know, not a couple. Nonetheless, I love when these two come together.

#3 - Morgan and Hunter from The Sweep Series by Cate Tiernan.

I like home and DVDs... although, those DVDs are getting difficult to find.

Enjoying the outdoors and arts and craft.

With all my allergies, we always cook and bake at home. We make everything from nearly scratch...yummy goodness.

“I wonder if much that ails our society stems from the fact that we have allowed ourselves to be cut off from that love of, and from, the land. It is medicine for broken land and empty hearts.“

“...one thing I would recommend to restore relationship between land and people...“plant a garden.“ It's good for the health of the Earth and...people...once you develop a relationship with a little patch of Earth, it becomes a seed itself.“

“It is said that our people learned to make sugar from the squirrels.“

I ♥️ 🐿️ ! I will always think of squirrels while having maple syrup.

“the wonder of drinking sap straight from the tree. Sap, but not syrup...Earth endows us with gifts...The responsibility does not lie with the maples alone...we participate in its transformation. It is our work, and our gratitude, that distills the sweetness.“

Truth in so many of life's tedious tasks.

Was at Whole Foods the other day, and ran across this book. Although I won't be able to tackle this puzzle for awhile, I did notice that there is a “for fun“ competition that someone on here might find interesting to know about.

There's not much time left to get yourself a copy & enter, yet I figured I'd share anyway. I've noticed some fast readers here on Litsy, I'm a sluggish reader and wouldn't make the deadline even if I began now.

#1 The Disreputable Dog from Garth Nix's Old Kingdom Series. Love the character, the name...not so much.

#2 The tagged book. I know, not unusual. As a fan, the title was perplexing. It should have been called something like, “the making of Batman“ or “Bruce Wayne.“ Then again, I may have never read the book...and I did enjoy the story 😉.

“The animacy of the world is something we already know, but the language of animacy teeters on extinction“

I've read about this in other American Indigenous languages.

It matches the way I feel, and I have always tried to incorporate this into my writing/speaking. Constantly try, yet it is tricky in the english language. I've probably missed chances to apply these rules.

Am I foolish to believe that the english language can be enlightened??

Too excited!!!! I had to share the news!!! A new pack of Gray wolves have made my California their home!!!! 🐺🐺🐺🐺 Thrilled!!!!😍😍😍😍💕🥰 I believe this makes at least four packs in my state (if I'm correct??). The endangered wolf is making a comeback in my state!!!! Let us hope for generations to come.

A bouquet of perfection.

“flowers could be ugly to us and still fulfill their purpose. But they're not.“

“by definition beauty could not be a valid scientific question...my questions were bigger than science could touch.“

“It is this dance of cross-pollination that can produce a new species of knowledge, a new way of being in the world. After all, there aren't two worlds, there is just this one good green Earth.“

The notion that a sacred plant is made impure if sold/purchased did not settle well with me.

That's like saying our tap water is no longer sacred.

I don't mean to be disrespectful. I get it, I feel and was raised up differently...this is something I just can't believe.

I get the chemically ruined, that could transform medicine into poison.

The gift economy was interesting. I've always liked the idea of bartering and such.

The Council Of Pecans

Absolutely fascinating. The way the pecan trees work is breathtaking.

“In the old times, our elders say, the trees talked to each other...“

“There is now compelling evidence that our elders were right-the trees are talking to one another...“

I've always known this about plants, but finding out that science has acknowledged this as fact...spectacular.

I believe that it is by wind and root (fungal bridges) 😉.

Purchased this from my local REI a few weeks ago.

Been wanting to read this for years, never managed to run across a copy until now.

Strange, what perfect timing.

It was my poem that was first published in a Wolf Warriors Anthology by Thurston Howl Publications. I will always be honored to have been among the writers and artists chosen 😊🐺.

I just realized that there are no reader posts for this title...

I have an art piece and short story in this anthology, starting on page 26.

Just wanted to add a photo from my copy of this anthology so that there would be a posting. 📚✏️📖 This is allowed???? I hope 😊.

Hi, I hope I'm playing this correctly...

Thank you Eggs for tagging me

1- While I started in 2022, I finished Dark Lady's Chosen by Gail Z. Martin this year. The first, main book of 2023 is Batman: Nightwalker by Marie Lu.

2- I am such a sluggish reader, I can spend a year (or more) reading a book.

3- I love my garden. It's one of my greatest sense of achievements to see it flourish with the continuous work and love my mom and I give it...

This is one of our garden decorations. Had to bring him home when I ran across this years ago, because he reminds me of one of my favorite childhood books...🐸.

OK, I'm triple excited. Looked everywhere for this paper! Not in stock at local office stores. When a store did sell this paper, I'd discover that it must be ordered (I don't order online these days).

Then, the other day, I was in a store and there it was on a shelf...like magic.

This is for a special project. Keeping it wrapped up until I'm ready. Can't wait to see how this paper feels and how it reacts with my craft projects.

Happy Dance!

Found A Poster! Youthful Bruce Wayne with a tease of Batman in the background...an awesome bonus that came tucked into the back of the book!

One extra note, if I went into this believing there would be a Batman appearance at some point, I would have been disappointed and would not have appreciated this story. This truly is about Bruce Wayne before he becomes Batman. Yet, since Bruce is heroic, one could consider this as Batman in beta mode LOL.

Fast paced. A bit dark, yet, it's Gotham.

Managed not to get me down, like the latest Batman movie. Yet, it was less focused on crimes and chaos, and more on Bruce Wayne's reaction and response to these things.

Bruce Wayne's characteristics are genuine. Funny when Dianne describe Bruce as a knight, when we all know who Bruce will become.

Always liked seeing Batman and Catwoman together. Madeleine seems an interesting pairing with Bruce Wayne.

Strange, while Batman is not officially part of the story, I can feel the character lurking throughout, between the pages.

I hadn't expected that.

Perhaps because I went into this story knowing there would be no Batman appearances, I am enjoying the subtle traits that makes Bruce Wayne, Batman.

OK. This has become a whole lot darker than I expected.

It's not terribly gruesome, just...I don't know, I guess the way reality is right now makes Gotham City all the more unsettling. Dreadful.

On the upside, I feel like I'm getting to know Bruce Wayne for the first time. His personal life is something I don't believe I ever read about (in depth) before. I always kinda ignored Bruce Wayne and focused on Batman...I'm a terrible fan.

This nearly lost me at the mention of Arkham Asylum. Always pass on prison, asylum, and hospital stories. Yet, this is Gotham.

I continued.

It's interesting and sad to see Bruce Wayne's relationship with Harvey Dent (who will one day become Two-Face).

The last Batman film had gotten my spirits down about my favorite hero (not necessarily about Batman, more about Gotham vs. reality). Nice to be excited again about Batman.

This may not have magic in its storyline, yet it has a magical way of pulling me right into the pages. Very, unexpectedly, immersive.

The foundation of Bruce Wayne's character: the childhood fear of bats, the trauma he experienced, the need to better his birth city.

This is like a bridge, giving a glimpse of Bruce Wayne between the boy and the man. Like I noted, Batman wouldn't be who is without Bruce.

Time for some Bruce Wayne!

I'm not sure about this. Not really into Gotham City right now...with the real world being so very much like Gotham. Just, seemingly, without the promise of a devoted real life Batman.

Haven't read a book in awhile that doesn't have some form of magical elements...

I guess, time will tell.

Young adult Bruce Wayne?

I hadn't read what it was about.

I like Batman for, well, Batman. I can't say I would like Batman without Bruce Wayne. Batman wouldn't be who is without Bruce.

Nonetheless, it sat on my shelf until the other day. It toppled from its place. I snatched it midair, only the dust jacket slipped off.

I'd never given the book a good look over...how elegant. Rarely can I resist that symbol.

A journal I've just decorated.

“Magic Is Written With Free Spirit“

Just to be clear: “Magic“ as in, Writing Fantasy Fiction ;-D.

This seems to be a page here on Litsy where anyone can share off-topic or random posts.

If I am wrong and this is a reserved group page of some kind, please comment and let me know. I will delete this post. Thank you ;-D.

This and book three truly are the best in this series.

Tris managed to save my opinion of him.

The human character, Jonmarc remains my favorite. Not the Necromancer, but the human. I'd say Jonmarc is towards the top of my favorite characters list, right after Batman and Zorro.

Yeah, I really need to find some magical men to add to that list.

Oh, an absolutely wonderful ending. So very stressful to reach the wonderful, yet grand nonetheless.

Kiara and Carroway fearing that they will have to prove their loyalty is driving me crazy, because Tris seems to be jumping right into believing it a possibility.

If Tris's reaction to the allegations had been:

“I don't believe it for one moment. I will investigate, for my own peace of mind, for our unborn child, and for my people as their king. But until it is proven, I don't believe it true.“

then it would have made sense to me.

While I continue to wish there were more scenes with Jonmarc, Carina, and the characters at Dark Haven, the story really does need all the characters to tell the story. Chapter 22 was excellent! Like a magical duet between Tris and Carina. Very well done. I still could do with less war scenes.

Clipping of the Winter Kingdoms map.

Tris just managed to annoy me. How could he believe, even for a second, that Kiara would betray him? The only thing that letter should have told him was that Kiara and Carroway were in danger.

Wish for more time spent in and around Dark Haven.

It does a good job of jumping between characters to advance the storyline. While interesting, I find myself rushing through them to return to Dark Haven ;-D.

This does a pretty good job of explaining the Injustice storyline.

I've never really like seeing Batman and Superman together. Could never understand Clark Kent's issues with Bruce Wayne. Yet, I'm really not sure about a world with a crazy Superman.

Batman is still a good guy, so I'm good.

The card says that in the Injustice world, Batman's identity is known?? While I prefer my superheroes with hidden identities, I wonder how this works?

I am the worst fan! I usually discover updates about my favorites purely by chance...

This comic came free when I purchased a Batman action figure.

Multiverse???? Wait, what??

I have some catching up to do LOL

I really like this whole series, yet this third book tops as best.

This series has all my favorite magics and magical beings: necromancy (of course), and healers, musicians/storytellers and the power of music, shape-shifters, vampires, seers...etc. I mean, this story really seems to have it all.

Ok, time to dust off book four of this series...

Brilliant.

When I first began this series, reality seemed more sane. Returning to this book now (during this crazy reality the whole world is going through), it seemed more scary. Darker. The threats that should be long, long past seem far too real.

I loved the finish of this book. Perfect.

I'm obsessed with Ghosts, and obviously necromancers.

I like stories where characters need to learn their gifts, right a wrong (or many wrongs), and build friendships.

Fantastic! 👍
